    At the command, the fire shot into the sky.  Those thousands of huge bamboo rafts are all covered with trees and grass, and are filled with grease and other flammable materials. When the fire is started, they will burst into flames in an instant.  After the fire started, Lu Meng ordered the ropes to be untied and the raft, burning with flames, floated eastward along the current.  Thousands of bamboo rafts were burning, covering almost the entire Yangtze River.  When a fire rises like this, when viewed from a distance, it looks like a huge fire net stretching across the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, slowly moving downstream with the force of the current.  In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the enemy's navy is coming upstream.  Hundreds of warships are spread out on the river. Fighting ships and ships are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are boats going back and forth to contact each ship. It is obvious at a glance that this fleet is controlled by people who are extremely good at water warfare.  In the center of the fleet, there is a huge building ship. The building ship is five stories high, just like a huge beast, floating on the river.  The big flag with the word "Sun" in it is fluttering proudly in the wind.  On the fifth deck, Sun Ce was holding his sword in one hand and his silver spear in the other, staring far ahead.  In my ears, the chants of sailors echoed in my ears, and the turbulent Yangtze River meandered westward like a jade belt.  Sun Ce looked at the end of the jade belt and vaguely saw clusters of cloud sails appearing. He knew that it was Yuan Fang's navy coming.  Not long after, the patrol ship ahead of the fleet sent the latest reconnaissance information. There was indeed an enemy navy under the banner of "Lv" upstream, and the Qi army's infantry and cavalry were also discovered on the south bank of the Yangtze River.  "It's Lu Meng again, huh. Last time, you were lucky enough to win. This time, I want to see if you still have that luck." Sun Ce's lips turned a little proud, and he immediately ordered the ships to keep their distance.  If they get too close, some fire-resistant boats equipped with poles are ordered to move forward to prevent the enemy from setting fire along the river.  The water terrain around Fankou is not very open. If the fleet formation is too dense,  Once the Qi army from the upper reaches puts down the fire ship.  It is difficult for ships located downstream to avoid it.  Sun Ce has been crossing the Yangtze River for many years, and his claim to be invincible in water battles is not just a boast. He is good at water battles.  Nature knows this very well.  That's why he ordered the ships to keep distance between them.  At the same time, the fire-resistant ship was ordered to move forward to serve as a "firewall" for the entire fleet.  Sun Ce believed that as long as he could prevent the Qi army from setting fire to the ship.  So once the two armies come into battle, his Jiangdong Navy will definitely win.  " Moreover, he has also developed a set of tactics to defeat the Qi army's thunderbolt gunboats.  Each ship moved according to the order, and the entire fleet continued to swim upstream. Upstream, the figures of Qi's ships gradually became clearer.  Suddenly, several red shadows appeared in Sun Ce's field of vision. He quickly confirmed that the shadows were the shadows of torches.  "Humph, this kid Lu Meng really wants to set fire to the ship, and his methods are mediocre." Sun Ce sneered. He had anticipated the enemy's opportunity and had seen through his opponent's tricks in advance. The face of the little overlord of Jiangdong couldn't help but  A bit of pride and confidence flashed through.  Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce ordered the fire-resistant ships to prepare to intercept the enemy's fire ships, and ordered each ship to be ready to avoid the fire ships flowing down the river at any time.  When the order was passed, the Jiangdong sergeants on each ship immediately became alert and stood at their posts, preparing to meet the enemy.  The flames gradually rose up, and in a short time, the front line of the water was filled with fireworks, and the wildly burning tongues of flames quickly approached downstream.  Sun Ce stroked his beard and held his sword with a calm face, not taking the approaching fire ship seriously at all.  On the lower deck, Gan Ning was observing the enemy's situation attentively, but his brows gradually became serious.  "The Qi army's fire ship moving down the river seems a bit unusual" Gan Ning murmured to himself. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly focused, and a hint of fear flashed across his eyes.  Without thinking much, he hurriedly climbed up to the fifth deck and panted to Sun Ce: "My lord, the enemy is cheating. Please order the withdrawal of the troops as soon as possible." As soon as he said this, the soldiers on the fifth deck were stunned.  , all expressions changed.  Sun Ce frowned immediately, turned his head sharply, and glared at Gan Ning, his expression clearly showing some anger.  The battle between the two armies was imminent, but Gan Ning said before the battle, how could he not make Sun Ce angry with such words that shake the morale of the army.  Just as he was about to scold him, Gan Ning rushed forward and pointed to the fire upstream: "Lord, look, the enemy is not using fire boats, but fire-lit bamboo rafts, and they cover a very wide area of ??the river. They can't stop them at all."  I can't stop it." Sun Ce was shocked when he heard this, and then he got out of his preconceptions and looked upstream to the west again to take a closer look.  &nbspGradually, Sun Ce's face, which was originally proud of me, became solemn, and his calm expression faded, replaced by sudden surprise.  As Gan Ning said, in the upstream direction, what came along the river were not fire boats, but countless huge bamboo rafts, so many that they almost cut off the entire river.  Sun Ce immediately understood Qi Jun¡¯s intention, but Lu Meng had expected that he would be on guard, so he simply covered the entire river with fire rafts. Such a wide fire made it impossible for his fleet to avoid it.  "This kid Lu Meng, actually" Sun Ce was in shock, his face was full of anger and surprise, his teeth were secretly gritted, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.  Gan Ning saw this and said anxiously: "My lord, the enemy's fire raft is still a few miles away. It's still too late to turn around and withdraw the troops. If the fire raft gets closer, there is a danger that the entire army will be annihilated."  When he came out, Sun Ce was shocked, fear suddenly appeared on his face.  He is very good at water warfare and has used many fire tactics in his life. He should know what will happen if he falls into the fire boat trick.  After weighing for a while, Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "That's all, I didn't expect Yuan Fang to be so treacherous. He quickly sent an order to have the entire army turn around and retreat eastward." The flag waved, and the order to retreat was issued by the flagship.  On the battleships, the high-spirited Jiangdong sergeants were already panicking when faced with the fire net coming across the river. However, when the order to retreat was given, the ships hurriedly turned around and headed desperately towards  Remove downstream.  On the shore, watching Sun Ce's approaching fleet, he hurriedly turned around, watching the long network of fire continue to push downstream, and then looked at his own fleet, pursuing it with great prowess, while Yuan Fangxiao watched what happened.  .  Guo Jia's strategy was indeed sinister enough, and he forced the Jiangdong Army back without any effort. Although it seemed that he could not burn down the enemy's fleet in one fell swoop, his goal was achieved.  The purpose of this battle was only to capture the enemy stronghold at Fankou and open the door to Chaisang, rather than to completely annihilate Sun Ce's navy.  Now seeing that the enemy navy had retreated, Yuan Fang did not hesitate and immediately ordered all the infantry to march along the river bank to Fankou Ferry, which was more than ten miles away.  Tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry troops were moving as fast as the wind. Half an hour later, the enemy camp at Fankou came into view.  At this time, Sun Ce's navy had also withdrawn to the front line of the water camp. He wanted to retreat to the water camp and defend himself on the spot, but unfortunately, the fire raft that followed quickly destroyed his intention.  In the Jiangdong Army's water camp, many trestles extend into the water. If the fire raft collides with it, the entire water camp will soon be ignited. The water and land camps are connected to each other. Once the water camp catches fire, the dry camp will be very difficult.  It will soon be affected.  If Sun Ce chooses to retreat to the water camp, it will be like throwing hundreds of his warships and more than 30,000 sailors into a self-dug fire pit.  With desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to abandon Fankou Village and led his panicked troops to flee in the direction of Chaisang.  Sun Ce's withdrawal was a disaster for Cao Pi and his thousands of Cao troops who stayed in the stronghold.  Because Sun Ce's army withdrew too quickly, there was no time to notify the remaining troops in the stronghold. When Cao Pi was alarmed and planned to retreat by boat, the fire raft from upstream had already arrived.  The rows of huge rafts burning with blazing fire crashed into the water camp with the momentum of the current. In an instant, they ignited the trestle and the docked warships. Then, the fire followed  The trestle stretches all the way to the shore.  Seeing the warship being burned and the flames coming, Cao Pi was so frightened that he had no choice but to give up the idea of ????retreating from the water and hurriedly led his army to the dry village in an attempt to escape on land.  When Cao Pi and his frightened soldiers fled out of the camp in a hurry, they were horrified to find that a tiger and wolf army had formed outside the camp, with countless pairs of bloodthirsty eyes staring at them hungrily.  Yuan Fang immediately drew his sword and stood proudly in front of the formation, with a ferocious sneer on his heroic face.  Facing the frightened Cao Junjun, Yuan Fang's heart was as heavy as iron. The painted halberd that drank countless blood slowly lifted up and slashed hard towards the enemy camp.  The cries of death and death arose like a tide. Tens of thousands of generals and cavalry, who had been ready to move for a long time, rushed towards the enemy unstoppably, like a flood that broke a dike, carrying the power of destroying everything.  The morale of these thousands of Cao family's navy troops was already low, and their combat effectiveness on land was extremely poor. Now they faced the Qi army that was ten times more powerful than Mount Tai, and the thousands of panicked Cao army's morale collapsed in the blink of an eye.  Mouse scurry in all directions with his head in his hands.  This time, Yuan Fang did not rush into battle, but chose to stand on horseback to enjoy the performance of his soldiers.  Now with ten times the army to kill the enemy, Yuan Fang had no need to do it himself, he could only watch the soldiers perform.  Those frightened Cao Jun had their butts burned by fire, and those in front were burned by fire.Tigers and wolves surrounded them, and more than a thousand enemies who had nowhere to escape were killed and killed in the blink of an eye.  Cao Pi in the rebellious army was both desperate and angry.  Being in a desperate situation, he glanced through the layers of surrounding troops and caught a glimpse of the emperor standing with his halberd under the banner of the emperor with the word "Qi".  Cao Pi knew that it must be Yuan Fang.  "I didn't expect that this traitor named Yuan Fang could be so treacherous. Now I am in a desperate situation with no way to escape. Do I, Cao Pi, and my Cao family really want to perish in the hands of this traitor?" In despair?  Cao Pi looked up to the sky and shouted, filled with grief and anger, only hating God for being unfair.  Looking around, there are fewer and fewer subordinates fighting. He is indeed trapped in a tight siege with no way out.  At this time, Dian Wei, who was beside him, shouted angrily: "As the son of Cao Mengde, how could my lord be so discouraged? Dian protected my lord and fought his way out!" (To be continued)
